I believe that a healthy sense of humor is the antidote for all sorts of physical and emotional human ailments. It has a way of salvaging and improving the most unthinkable and unbearable of moments. I’ve always used humor in both my personal and professional life as a powerful form of communication. Sometimes there’s no better way to make a point, change a mood or ease tension than with a little well-placed humor.

Humor is a very dear friend of mine, but of course, it must be appropriate, because all things are definitely not funny. The use of humor at the wrong time or delivered in the wrong spirit can cause damage and make matters worse. But if used appropriately, humor can save you from all sorts of bad situations by acting like an umbrella in a thunderstorm.
